The Post
The Post begins on a frostbitten evening as two unlikely companions prepare to depart through a sleeping town—one bound by duty, the other by schedule. The postman, wrapped in layers of coarse uniform and holding a dented sword more symbolic than practical, takes on the responsibility of delivering not just mail but a token of human warmth: a parcel and the greetings of someone too distant to speak in person. He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-

The Pipe
The Pipe opens with Meliton Shishkin stepping out of the woods, damp from the morning mist and weighed down by weariness, his loyal dog Damka trailing behind. The sky hangs low and grey, painting the landscape in dull tones that echo the heaviness in Meliton’s thoughts. As he walks, the faint sound of a pipe reaches his ears—a mournful, hollow melody played by an old shepherd watching over his flock. The shepherd’s music seems to echo more than just solitude; it carries a quiet lament for a world…-

The Phantom Gramps
The Phantom Gramps began to manifest on the third morning on the seawall, casting a shadow over Sol’s otherwise hopeful demeanor. As she climbed aboard for breakfast, the narrator couldn’t help but notice the unusual gleam in her eyes, the hollow, faraway look she carried as if a second presence lingered behind her. This unsettling energy, which the narrator referred to as the "waiting child," filled the air around Sol, making her seem like a different person altogether. In an attempt to draw her back…-
